System Assessments

Independent Video System Assessments

Video systems evolve over time. Cameras are added, storage requirements increase, infrastructure ages and new analytics or technologies are introduced.

Pacific Video Solutions provides independent technical assessments of existing and proposed professional video environments.

Scope

What we assess

  • VMS architecture
  • Cameras
  • Recording architecture
  • Servers
  • Client workstations
  • Network infrastructure
  • Bandwidth
  • Storage
  • Retention
  • Analytics
  • Compatibility
  • Performance bottlenecks
  • Upgrade considerations
  • System scalability

Existing Systems

Understand what a deployed system is really doing

Systems that have grown organically often carry problems no one has had time to fully diagnose. An independent assessment gives you an objective picture of how the deployment is performing today and where it is at risk.

An assessment of an existing system can help identify:

  • performance bottlenecks
  • retention problems
  • infrastructure limitations
  • compatibility concerns
  • inefficient configurations
  • upgrade priorities

Proposed Systems

Validate a design before you commit to it

Before a new system is purchased or built, an independent review can confirm that the proposed design will actually meet requirements — and surface technical risks while they are still inexpensive to address.

  • architecture
  • infrastructure
  • storage
  • bandwidth
  • scalability
  • potential technical risks

Independent Perspective

Recommendations driven by requirements, not a product line

Because Pacific Video Solutions does not sell cameras, software or hardware, our recommendations are based on your technical requirements rather than a specific manufacturer's equipment. You get an honest read on what is working, what is not, and what to prioritise.

If an assessment surfaces a specific fault to resolve, our VMS troubleshooting and IP video consulting engagements take it from there.
